3 Altcoins Catching Investors’ Eyes This Christmas and New Year’s Week 2026

Jakarta, Pintu News – Christmas and New Year’s week is historically known as a period full of volatility, although it does not always result in a surge in value on crypto tokens. Therefore, for such volatility to turn into bullish momentum, tokens need to rely on other supporting factors.

Here is an analysis of three altcoins that have certain catalysts, which could potentially drive their prices up during Christmas 2025 and New Year 2026, according to a report by BeInCrypto.

Uniswap (UNI)

Uniswap (UNI) is attracting great attention from investors as the UNIfication proposal progresses towards the approval stage. With the voting process still ongoing until December 25, support has currently reached 97.8%.

This very strong support indicates high confidence in the update, increasing speculative interest and pushing UNI trading activity to higher levels.

The proposal includes the burning of 100 million UNI tokens, which will tighten supply and strengthen price dynamics. Anticipation of this has pushed the UNI price up 26.5%, and it is currently trading around $6.27. If momentum holds, UNI could potentially break $6.57, and a sustained rally could take the price towards $7.00 or even higher.

However, risks remain if profit-taking increases before the implementation of the proposal. Selling that occurs too early could limit the upside momentum. In such a situation, UNI may struggle to break back to $6.57 and will instead consolidate above the $6.02 support.

Moves like this can delay the continuation of the uptrend, though not reverse the overall positive direction.

Midnight (NIGHT)

NIGHT surged 71% in the past week, setting a new record high above $0.100 in the last 24 hours (22/12). This rally was driven by strong investor interest, thanks to the development of the Midnight project under Charles Hoskinson, which increased credibility and visibility in the market.

The association with Hoskinson was the main catalyst for the price increase. If investor confidence remains strong over the holiday period, the upward momentum could potentially continue. Steady demand could push NIGHT through a record high of $0.120, and under favorable market conditions, prices could continue to rise to around $0.150.

However, downside risks are quite high after this sharp rise. Early profit-taking could trigger a price correction. If selling pressure increases, NIGHT could potentially drop below $0.100 support.

A further drop below that level could drag the price towards $0.075, which would invalidate the bullish outlook and signal a potential trend reversal.

Aave (AAVE)

Aave (AAVE) was the only major token this week to experience a correction, dropping 14.84% and currently trading at around $160. This decline is in the opposite direction of the rally that has taken place in the crypto market in general.

Despite showing weakness in the short term, AAVE could potentially try to recover as investors reassess project fundamentals and upcoming governance developments.

A potential catalyst comes from the newly announced Phase 1 vote regarding the alignment of the AAVE token. The proposal aims to place control of Aave’s brand assets under a DAO structure, complete with anti-capture protections.

If this proposal receives support, the governance changes could boost market confidence and push AAVE prices above $164, with $180 as a stronger recovery target.

However, downside risks remain if investor support does not emerge. Continued indecision could prolong selling pressure. Under such conditions, AAVE could potentially drop below the $157 support, and a deeper drop to around $150 would invalidate the bullish outlook and strengthen the bearish sentiment in the short term.
